That’s exactly what I did, except I went the Meross route instead of zwave to save some $. My house is split between zwave for critical stuff and wifi/zigbee/matter for stuff that I don’t really care about and don’t want to waste zwave money on.

$20 and MyQ can go fuck itself. Unexpected benefit is that because Meross controller emulates physical button press, it skips the delay and loud beeping/lights flashing warning that MyQ implemented on remote door close.

I guess you could use Samsung watch for nfc payments, but you lose a bunch of functionality without Samsung phone.

I use MyQ, but can live without it and it’s a shitty app anyway. Not sure why even bother having a smart phone without Wallet and Auto though. Unless you live in a city where nobody drives and everyone still takes cash?

It’s relatively inexpensive and makes life much easier for people who are not tech savvy. Your position is that of an incredibly egoistic person that never had to help an older relative or dealt with an adult who doesn’t have time for random bs during an hour or so of downtime most people get in a day.

If spending hours trying to figure out which “free” streaming service had not gotten shot down today and magically has the content you want is worth less to you than a one time payment of a few bucks to plex, then you really don’t value your time.

Red light cameras are fine as long as they work properly, but fuck the speed cams. Glad they are still illegal here.

I’d agree, but the joke was funny.

Also zypper is a fantastic package manager.

Using it on multiple servers and in small scale prod deployment. Works like a charm.

podman-compose is also usable although noticeably unfinished.
